Carol,

my house is in Ebensee (435m) near Traunsee (lake) between Höllengebirge and Totes Gebirge (Upper Austria). The highest mountains are so 2000m.
Maybe you know "Dachstein" (3000m) which is not far away.
Many wonderful Alpines grow there!

Dont tell too many people. They will all want a share!

You are welcome to a share of, or even all, the snow we are due to get  ;D

we had a few cold days (cold for us, our warm days in winter would be cold for many of you...lol)
we were near -30C at night, and with windchills, not much better in the day--shoevelling around the mailbox the other day, i felt my cheeks could easily have frozen with a few minutes(that was my only exposed area--eyebrows to chin, with coming around the sides!
yesterday was much better--around -5C, with a bit of a dip again today -11..but above 0Cdays by monday, hopefully..

Today at 12:30 a gigantic avalanche has arrived my house and the garden. There are some demolitions, but the best is that I have survived. I think I have lost my seeds and some pots with plants.

Dear goodness, Hans, thank heavens you are safe!  Such danger from the avalanche.... I was afraid that there would be such a happening this year.

I am relieved that you - and your house survived.
We all loose plants and have no seedling but usually it is our own fault - not an avalanche.
I am sure that if you call for lost treasures, many of us will come to your help if we can.
Take care

Heaven, Hans!!
So glad to know that you (and your house) are safe!!

Here we had temperatures up to 30ºC on Friday (t-shirts, no socks), yesterday it was only 10ºC mid-morning but then suddenly up to 20ºC at lunch time. Clear sky so 2.4ºC this morning.
i.e. typical Spring-ish weather round here!
